Everything is going wrong, everything is bad

There's no one I can talk to when I am feeling sad
She broke my heart a million ways

I'm losing all my friends

The boys down at the factory ask me where I've been

Please won't you, mister?

I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
I never should have left my home, never left the farm
But the city was exciting it couldn't do me any harm
The more folks I run across, the less I seem to know
The days go by too quickly the nights go by too slow.
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
I cannot face another girl, I believe I'll turn to drink
So I won't remember, so I won't have to think
Tomorrow will bring happiness or, at least, another day
So I will bid farewell and I'll be on my way
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
Phil Ochs (1940-1976) è stato un cantautore americano noto per le sue canzoni di protesta politica e sociale. Nato Philip David Ochs a El Paso, Texas, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, influenzato da artisti come Woody Guthrie e Pete Seeger. Ochs si distinse per il suo impegno civile e la sua capacità di trasformare eventi politici in testi incisivi e musicalmente coinvolgenti. Le sue canzoni affrontavano temi come la guerra del Vietnam, la disuguaglianza sociale e i diritti civili, guadagnandosi l'appellativo di "topical singer", un termine che lui stesso preferiva a quello di cantautore di protesta. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marching Anymore" e "Here's to the State of Mississippi". Ochs ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui "Phil Ochs Sings", "Gun of Love" e "Pleasures of the Harbor", che hanno contribuito a consolidare la sua posizione come uno dei cantautori di protesta più influenti degli anni '60. La sua musica ha ispirato generazioni di artisti e continua ad essere ascoltata oggi per il suo messaggio di giustizia sociale e la sua potenza evocativa.
